Maybe, specially if we put into consideration that <b>Coach Pop</b> tends to favor <b>more experienced (veteran) players</b>.

Still, the Spurs have training camp to decide... For now; Bogans is <b>a nice pick up, an insurance policy</b> if some players in the camp don't "show up" as expected. And again, this only shows how <b>dedicated the Spurs is when it comes to winning....</b><br/></span></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer">
